The Book
Sold Out
This book follows the 2,000 year history of the book. The Book follows writing, printing, the art of illustrations, and binding to show how we have moved from cuneiform tablets and papyrus scrolls to the hardcovers and paperbacks of today. As you would expect, this is a beautifully produced volume with lots of delightfully meta-detail and surprising facts.
- Colour illustrations.
